I agree... i idle in the very low 30's and IBT scared that crap outta me.. I ran 30 and it passed 100% but my load temps were close to 80c too damn high.

BND, I have the same batch as you. I cant get it prime stable above 4330 1.360v. Im FSB limited on the Maximus Formula, I can get to 4.5ghz quite easily just can stablize it. Going to get a P5Q Deluxe and see what it will do.

Switching from a Zerotherm Nirvana to a lapped true also. Gonna do push/pull
